La Petite Maison, Lot-et-Garonne
Families of four or five will have a relaxing, comfortable and memorable stay in the beautiful country home known as Le Petite Maison.

Just 6km from Lou Clavel is the bustling little village of Cazals, home to a good variety of restaurants, shops and bars.
La Bergerie, Dordogne and Gironde
For larger families or two separate families holidaying together, the fabulous rural retreat of La Bergerie would make fine accommodation in the heart of South West France.
